It's not good to be a courtier

Chapter 9 The Mystery of Life and Death

Feng Yan walked along the path, and was hit on the shoulder with a sap stick by someone who jumped out of the forest. Feng Yan couldn't avoid it, and he was hit hard by the stick, and his whole shoulder was so painful that he lost consciousness all of a sudden.Five or six burly servants surrounded him, before he could say anything, they went up with sticks in their hands, making decisive and ruthless moves, not like ordinary servants, but soldiers who are accustomed to weapons.Although Feng Yan's skills are sharp, they are not as good as these veterans who have worked hard from the grassroots level, and their moves are completely unconventional. Those people are also very evil. The place.In the end, the leader with Scarface spat and hit him on the head with a sap. Feng Yan immediately felt a sharp "buzz" in his ears, his brain went blank, the scene in front of him was blurred, and he fell limply to the ground. Seeing that he was powerless to fight back, I drove him to the atrium.

When they arrived at the atrium, the atrium was already packed to the brim. When Cui Xin saw Feng Yan, who was tied up by five flowers and her head drooping, her face turned pale, and she pursed her lips and said sharply: "What is the meaning of the third highness? You haven't found out the truth of the matter yet. Is there any law to treat my son like this?"

Murong You restrained his face and said sharply: "Is there anything else to investigate? The people in this Palace found a young General Feng who smelled of alcohol in the plum grove. His right hand was stained with blood and he was drowsy. Isn't that enough to explain everything?"

Feng Cui was neither humble nor overbearing, and said awe-inspiringly: "Just based on the corpse of a maidservant and the testimony of these people, I want to convict my son. Your highness treats the country's laws and regulations so childishly, which makes the minister's wife eye-opening. The minister's wife, please Your highness, please Ting Wei came here for the first trial, no matter what the final result is, the minister's wife is willing to accept the result."

Murong You sneered and said: "Madam loves her son dearly, but she openly did such shameless things in Meiyuan. Afterwards, in order to cover up the traces and kill people, it is a tragedy in the world. Even the son of the Great General of Zhen Guo cannot escape the law." sanctions."

"Xinmei, the matter has not been made public yet, and the Third Highness's intention is for the good of my nephew. If Ting Wei is really invited, this matter will be difficult." It was Cui Xie who spoke to persuade her, her eyes were red Said: "Yan'er is afraid that it's just a moment of involuntary love, and people are killed. How can the romance in the backyard go to the front court?"

"I don't believe that Yan'er would act like this. He grew up in the army, he was strict with himself, and never cared about Fengyue. Yan'er, you just say something, what's going on? They say that you treat Long'er Your servant girl wants to do something wrong and kills her." Cui Xin begged, but seeing her son drooping his head and not saying a word, he seemed to acquiesce, and his heart became even more anxious.

"I'm not saying what's wrong with him, it's just that it's okay to be lost for a while. Sister Xin, now that the evidence is convincing, I thought...but I was harassed by the servants to His Highness the Third Highness. I'm the sister-in-law, I'm sorry." Cui Cui Mrs. Xie covered her face with a scarf, holding it in a miserable way.

"Yan'er, tell me something, did you do it, tell me..." Cui Xin was not willing to listen to Cui Xie's words, she rushed to Feng Yan in a hurry and shouted heartbreakingly, but was caught by two wooden sticks. The sticks are far apart.Feng Yan didn't seem to notice anything, she hung her head and said nothing.

"Yan'er looks like this, I'm afraid it's true, I'm afraid I recognize it, sister Xin, you have to take care of yourself, children are unfilial, we are parents..." Cui Xie wailed and supported Cui Xin.

Murong You solemnly said: "Now the Great General Zhen Guo is in the northern border to guard against the barbarians, although Young General Feng has killed people, but he can't cool the hearts of loyal ministers because of this, temporarily imprison him, and deal with it when the Great General returns to the court. I'll go back and report to my father immediately." There was an uproar in the audience.

"Wait!" A crisp female voice came from the crowd, and everyone in the audience looked together, and saw a snow-blue woman walking over with a young man on her arms. Murong You looked at the expressionless young man. , flashed fiercely in his eyes.

"Hey, what's going on here? Little General Feng just parted from us for a moment, Zensheng was tied up and knelt here, what happened?" Feng Yang asked in surprise.

Before Murong You opened his mouth, Cui Xie covered his mouth and said: "This young lady is really righteous in saving people's hearts, but just a moment ago, my family member of the Cui family clearly saw General Feng escaped from Zhilan Pavilion in a hurry. Stay together. Although I don't know what friendship you have, you shouldn't disturb the audience and damage the reputation of the young lady."

"Oh, the servant of your Cui family is also blind. He saw General Feng Shao just now, why didn't he see us standing beside him?" Feng Yang said with a smile, and met Murong You's annoyed face in a blink of an eye, "You Don't open your mouth, I want to see how this Cui Xie quibbles!"

"You!" Cui Xie was startled, and shouted: "Where did you come from, she is so eloquent and disrespectful!"

"There is no elder?" Feng Yang paused, with a cold smile, "You are not worthy of being the elder of this palace!"

"His Royal Highness!" I don't know who recognized it in the garden, and the crowd in the courtyard fell to their knees. Cui Xie's face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down, his forehead was immediately wet.

"Sister Seventh, don't mess around, this is a family matter of the Cui family, even if I wait for the royal family, it's not easy to intervene." A trace of panic flashed across Murong You's face, and he forced himself to be calm.

"Oh, just now I heard from a long distance in the palace that Brother Huang is going to enter the palace to report to Royal Father. Since it is a family matter, how can I disturb Royal Father." Feng Yang said with a smile.

Murong You was stunned for a moment, and said: "Gai's case is quite serious, it involves the affairs of the previous dynasty, the emperor dare not act on his own, so he should report to the emperor."

"Oh," Feng Yang suddenly realized, and walked slowly to the weeping Feng Cui, "but listening to my wife's words, I don't seem to believe that her son will do such a thing. Knowing the child is like the mother, don't you all know?" Is there no doubt?"

There was silence in the audience, Cui Xie was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "How can parents not excuse their children, it is understandable for Xinmei to speak like this in a hurry."

"So, Mrs. Cui doesn't believe it. That's right, it's the maid of the Cui family who died now. Even if the offender is the nephew of the Cui family, Mrs. Cui can't take into account the relationship between the nephew and the uncle. Return to justice." Feng Yang raised his right hand and put his index finger on the side of his face, revealing the phoenix ring worn on the index finger, and a pair of phoenix eyes flew back and forth between several people. No need to go to the previous court, it is not appropriate for my brother to report to the father. I am the princess who protects the country personally appointed by His Majesty, and controls the wives, why not let me try this outstanding case. I wonder what Madam Cui would like? "

Cui Xie lowered her head, gritted her teeth tightly, and her hands trembled uncontrollably. At that time, Feng Yan just regained consciousness, struggled with the rope that was tied to her body, took a breath and said with all her might: "I beg Your Highness to be merciful, don't interrogate me." the case."

Feng Yang was stunned, and couldn't help showing a very funny smile. He was very heroic, and slowly squatted down and said: "You are indeed different from others, but you disappointed me very much. There is nothing in this palace that I hate the most in my life."

"Your Highness," Feng Yan endured the dizziness and nausea, kowtowed and said, "Feng Yan never hurt anyone, there must be a misunderstanding. As for the one who hurt someone, let the people in the Cui Mansion find it themselves. I beg Your Highness to show mercy and not investigate this case. "

"From your aunt's tone, it is clear that you are the one who hurt others. If I don't investigate, this pot of dirty blood will definitely fall on your head. Although you are open-minded, the world is not so tolerant. This case is investigated by the Palace. It's gone." Feng Yang stood up, his sharp phoenix eyes swept over everyone present, he walked slowly to Cui Xieshi, and said lightly: "Cui Xieshi, do you want to say anything else?"

Cui Xieshi gritted her teeth and bowed her head: "But the princess will check."

Fengyang stretched out her snow-blue skirt, and said in a voice: "Chuan Tingwei's mansion Shen Ruoli, with his belt, waits outside the garden, and immediately closes the garden, only entering and leaving!"

A young man in a dark blue shirt came out from the easternmost side. He was holding a white feather fan, showing no emotion, and he bowed his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, the grass people look at the face of Little General Feng, and they are afraid that he may be injured. Let Caomin see the general."

Feng Yang was surprised, and shot sharp eyes at Cui Xieshi, and said sharply: "What's going on?"

After saluting, the young man in the dark blue shirt walked up to Feng Yan, took his pulse with one hand, and saw that he was still hanging his head. He pushed aside his hair suspiciously, and suddenly found a striking bloodstain entrenched on his white skin. On the scalp, blood was faintly oozing, more blood accumulated under the scalp due to the lack of flow, no wonder the pulse was not visible, but the complexion was surprisingly dark.Feng Yang glanced from a distance, took a breath, and parted for only a moment, where was he attacked?It's so vicious.

"His Royal Highness, Caomin must first treat General Feng Shao's injuries, please cut a place for Caomin," the young man reported.

"How is the injury?" Feng Yang asked.

The young man pressed the wound and found that the skin was soft and the blood had not accumulated for a long time. He said: "Looking at the shape and appearance of the wound, it should be caused by a stick. This wound was seen a little in the army. One blow caused the wounded to temporarily lose the ability to think and speak. General Feng's kneeling posture was a little stiff, and he obviously avoided his right arm. Cao Min guessed that the right arm had also been hit hard. The specifics need to be inspected by Ting Wei. "

"Full of nonsense, how could an ordinary commoner come into contact with the army? What is the origin of this young man, he dares to speak lies in front of the princess, so he has to back down quickly." Cui Jia stopped, and walked forward out of breath, "I got the news Come here immediately, since it is a matter of your family, Rong Chen will go and inquire about it."

Feng Yang raised his eyes and looked straight at Cui Jiazhi, his beautiful eyes were moving, showing no emotion, and said indifferently: "Master Cui came late, maybe he didn't hear what I said clearly. I will say it again and personally investigate the case. As for this Young master?" Feng Yang looked over in a blink of an eye, "You can tell us your background."

The young man in the dark blue shirt stood up straight, cupped his hands to Cui Jiazhi and said, "Caomin is not talented, so is Langya Wang Qi. Caomin used to be a teacher in the Northern Guard Camp, and he has heard a little about military affairs."

There was an uproar in the audience, Wang Qi, it was Wang Qi.The eldest grandson of Longxi Wang Miao, who can read a thousand characters at the age of three, can compose an essay at the age of five, and wrote an imperial policy at the age of ten, which made the current sage exchange tears, saying that my great swallow will be passed down through the ages. At the age of 13, he traveled to the west of the border, and at the age of 15, he re-edited Sun Tzu's Art of War, and wrote the "Bad Array Theory", a wonderful book on the art of war.The emperor issued an imperial edict three times and was rejected as the emperor's teacher. The words of such a person who does not pursue utilitarianism are very important.

Cui Jiazhi was speechless, he couldn't offend Langya's future mainstay, but he also couldn't bear to chat with him.

Feng Yang pursed his lips, nodded coldly and said: "Treat the wound first, Zhuo Zhuo!"

Zhuo Zhuo took orders immediately, Wang Qi supported Feng Yan, "Young General, are you okay?"

Feng Yan still couldn't see things clearly, with gratitude on his face, he put his left hand on Wang Qi's shoulder, and solemnly said: "Thank you!"

In the side pavilion, Feng Yan was half lying on the couch with his head slightly tilted. Wang Qi carefully released the blood with a silver needle in his hand. After treating the wound, he asked, "Major General, open your eyes and see how your vision is?"

Feng Yan opened his eyes when he heard the words, and his vision still had some double vision, but it was not so blurry anymore, "Thank you, it's much better."

"I think there are still some double images, and it's only a matter of time before recovery," Wang Qi opened the small box containing the medicine bottles, and said again: "Please take off your clothes, Major General, and let me see the condition of your right arm."

Feng Yan opened his clothes, and the place where his right arm connects to his shoulder has swelled into a purple-red mass. Wang Qi tried to straighten it, but the tendon inside might have been misplaced, so he said, "I've seen this kind of fierce and fierce arm in the army." Cruel injuries, most of them are broken bones and tendons, if it weren't for the major general's vigorous skill, the injuries would not be so light."

"Feng Yan is ashamed that he couldn't escape," Feng Yan said with a faint smile.

"You can't dodge, no one can dodge. The stick formation formed by six people simplifies the formation principle of the Eight Formation Theory. Wang Qi is confident that the person who can solve this formation has not yet been born," Wang Qi said suddenly, "Unfortunately, Even if Wang Qi knows who it is, he can't resort to it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened to the major general, so don't worry. It's just that those who cover up the truth are in trouble, even Princess Fengyang, you have to think twice."

"Sir already knows..." Feng Yan asked, but he didn't have a clue.

Wang Qi smiled faintly, and did not speak again, his hands kept kneading the wound.

In another flower pavilion, Murong You was sitting slantedly in front of the table, looking at Feng Yang who was sitting sipping tea not far away, with a smile on his lips, he said sarcastically: "The royal sister's prestige today makes the imperial brother feel refreshed, Why, have you taken a fancy to that kid from the Feng family?"

Feng Yang didn't answer, put down the teacup in his hand, and lightly stroked the plum blossoms in the mirror bottle on the desk, seemingly unintentionally said: "The Cui family's affairs have nothing to do with the third brother, right? The third brother has always disdained to be with concubines. This time I also came here for Xie Sifang, so I don't think..."

Murong You frowned invisibly, and laughed softly: "Seventh Emperor's sister's questioning really made Third Brother sad. In your eyes, Third Brother is such a hungry person?"

Feng Yang said with a smile: "Of course not, it's just that the father said that Langya Wang Qi is a mirror that reflects people, and nothing can escape his eyes. If this matter is really related to the third brother, I'm fine..."

"No need, no matter what kind of mirror he is, it can't reflect your third brother and me. The imperial sister is too worried." Murong You said disdainfully, got up and opened the door and went out.

Feng Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. The tea had long been cold and the fragrance had faded a lot. She suddenly smiled and said quietly: "Third brother is very kind to me. When I was young, I was afraid of thunder. Third brother always He will accompany me every time. Countless days and nights, I still remember the warmth of his embrace. Since when did he stop telling me the truth, and no longer regard me as his sister who loves deeply and can break his heart?"

Murong Qi turned around from the screen, went to sit beside her, poured himself a cup of tea, and said calmly: "Troublesome woman!"

Feng Yang grinned, stretched out his hand and squeezed Murong Qi's face, "This troublesome woman is now going to rectify the name of General Feng, how can you thank me?"

"It's up to you whether to correct his name or not, it's fine to let him suffer a little bit." Murong Qi said coldly.

"You are so cruel and ruthless, and now you are discovered by others, but you complain that he discovered it too quickly. What's the point?" Feng Yang complained, picking a plum blossom in his hand, "Speaking of which, I really can't let Feng Princess Yanshang? I think he's good, even if I mess around in the future, he won't say anything."

Murong Qi didn't move at all, but the jade cup in his hand broke into several petals immediately after hearing this sentence.Feng Yang immediately "haha" twice, "It's rare to see you defending a person like this, be careful that he becomes your weakness." Seeing that Murong Qi didn't pay attention, he curled his lips and said goodbye to this topic and didn't discuss it any more.
